This is my report on activities related to the Mozilla Foundation for the week ending September 21. I spent a lot of the week handling internal administrivia.

Projects for the week

Here’s a summary of what Foundation-related activities went on last week; for more information about others’ activities please see the weekly status reports published by David Boswell, Gerv Markham, and Zak Greant.

Alexander Surkov completed the second milestone on his implementation in Mozilla of the IAccessible2 accessibility API
for Windows (to be used by future versions of Firefox and Firefox-compatible screen readers on Windows). The IA2ToGecko project page has more information, including links to the relevant bugs.

Ariel Rios completed the second milestone on his project to implement a new Collection interface for the GNOME AT-SPI
accessibility API (to be used by future versions of Firefox and Firefox-compatible screen readers on Linux). For more information (and to track progress) see GNOME bug 326516.

Steve Lee completed the final milestone for his project to create a prototype switch-activated on-screen keyboard for
Firefox; he’ll be showing this at the Mozilla accessibility summit.
